dc ca157a307a perf(client): load the Excel engine on first use
spreadsheet-util imports @sheet/crypto (1.75 MB: xlsx 958 kB, cpexcel 472 kB,
jszip 323 kB) and buffer at module scope, and SpreadsheetService imported it
statically, so the editor route downloaded the whole engine to draw a drop zone.

The engine now sits behind a ChunkLoader that caches the load for the success
path only, and SpreadsheetService awaits it in the two methods that need it.
parseExcelSheetNames imports the engine inside the handler's try, because an
async FileReader handler swallows its own rejection: a chunk that fails to load
has to reject that promise or the caller waits on a dialog that never moves.

Measured on the deployed build: the editor route loads 11 scripts with the engine
chunk absent, and attaching a file to the upload input loads it with no page
errors.

Two specs, both proved to bite: the loader retries after a rejected load (fails
without the cache clear), and parseExcelSheetNames rejects when the import does
(fails with a timeout if the rejection is swallowed).

Data Controller for SAS

Control your manual data modifications!

Alternatives to Data Controller include:

  • 💾 Developing / testing / deploying / scheduling overnight batch jobs to load files from shared drives
  • 🔒 Opening (and locking) datasets in Enterprise Guide or SAS® Table Viewer to perform direct updates
  • ❓ Asking a #DBA to run validated code after a change management process
  • 🌐 Building & maintaining your own custom web application
  • 🏃 Running #SAS or #SQL updates in production

Problems with the above include:

  • Legacy 'black box' solutions with little to no testing, documentation or support
  • End users requiring direct write access to critical data sources in production
  • Upload routines that must be manually modified when the data model changes
  • Breaches due to unnecessary parties having access to the data
  • Inability to trace who made a change, when, and why
  • Reliance on key individuals to perform updates
  • Building bespoke ETL for every new data source
  • High risk of manual error / data corruption

Data Controller for SAS® solves all these issues in a simple-to-install, user-friendly, secure, documented, battle-tested web application. Available on Viya, SAS 9 EBI, and SASjs Server.

An individual Viya deploy can be done in just 2 lines of #SAS code!

Development

Lighthouse CI

This project includes automated Lighthouse performance and accessibility checks that run on pull requests. The checks ensure:

  • Accessibility Score: Minimum 1.0 (100%) median score across all tested pages

The Lighthouse CI workflow:

  1. Sets up the development environment with SASjs server and mocked services
  2. Builds and serves the Angular frontend
  3. Installs Chrome and runs lhci autorun (Lighthouse CI) against key pages
  4. Uploads results as artifacts for review

To run Lighthouse checks locally:

cd client
npm install
npm run lighthouse

Configuration is in client/lighthouserc.js (URL list, desktop preset, Chrome flags, assertions).
